1-15. WWR SECTION I. ADMISSIONS, BED DAYS, AND VISIT DATA
a. Admissions. An admission is defined as the act of placing an individual under
treatment or observation in a medical center or hospital. (An exception is the circumstance
of an admission and transfer to a military hospital on the same day. In this circumstance, a
bed day is not counted.) The day of admission is the day on which the medical center or
hospital makes a formal acceptance (assignment of a register number) of the patient who
is to be provided with room, board, and continuous nursing service in an area of the
hospital where patients normally stay at least overnight. If both an admission and a
discharge occur on the same day, then that day is considered as a day of admission and
shall be counted as one occupied-bed day. (An exception is the circumstance of an
admission and transfer to a military hospital on the same day. In this circumstance, a bed
day is not counted.) While the admission of a newborn is deemed to occur at the time of
birth, live births are reported separately and excluded from the admission data. Admission
data include direct admissions, direct admissions from the emergency room, and transfer-
in patients from other MTFs; but exclude absent-sick patients, carded-for-record only
(CRO) cases, and transient patients.
(1) Report all admissions to an inpatient status in columns 01-04 with an
Item Code of 00, excluding live births. Report live birth admissions that occurred during the
reporting month in columns 01-04 with an Item Code of 01.
